Showing ads in a browser with an ad locker built-in is almost hypocrite... If Opera need their money from ads, the sites too. If Opera thinks it is acceptable to block other people's ads, block their ads should be too.

@sandroklostermann and many of you in this thread,
Thanks for all the feedback about the new Opera 44.
Regarding the ads, we are testing new ads and their formats.
I'll share your input to my team and we'll try to provide good user experience with Opera mobile browser. -

@jackob11 we actually read your feedback and believe me that we would want to fix every problem our users encounter. Unfortunately we simply can't, because we don't have enough resources to fix every bug. We usually try to fix problems that affect widest group of people first.
Regarding ads your feedback is very welcome and valuable.

We are not talking about Opera Mobile, Opera Mobile 44 or something.
Actually we're talking about Mini, the Opera Mini. ( Opera Mini ) -

Opera Mini used to NOT have ads. There is NO excuse to add full screen ads to Mini. You're straight up doing what crappy companies like Cheetah Mobile is doing.

Good ads vs bad ads.
Opera Mini ads apply to row 2 column 2.

@miyukiwork @mbaluta Opera team is completely violating Google's Policy.
https://play.google.com/about/monetization-ads/ads/lockscreen/
“Unless the exclusive purpose of the app is that of a lockscreen, apps may not introduce ads or features that monetize the locked display of a device.”
Opera Mini completely violates this rule of Google’s Policy. And the worst: the Opera Software knows that it violates the rule, because the Opera Mini version that I'm using is from January 2018 (this month), the latest version from the playstore: https://i.imgur.com/GsNmHRR.png and https://i.imgur.com/sud0rEc.png
1A) This lockscreen ads violation is not new, you can see it here from october, 2017: http://www.techweez.com/2017/10/06/disable-opera-mini-lockscreen-ads/
1B) When we install Opera Mini, the option “Lock screen news” is enabled by default. I tested it on my smartphone. You can see the result: https://i.imgur.com/nvzIjNw.png https://i.imgur.com/378zd04.png https://i.imgur.com/VW5jj9G.png https://i.imgur.com/bGR6cIF.png https://i.imgur.com/qVA2ne6.png https://i.imgur.com/7s13mzi.png https://i.imgur.com/vebLZnJ.png https://i.imgur.com/tzixHEF.png https://i.imgur.com/3fOPxih.png https://i.imgur.com/ELzo1OL.png
